perinhos-de-jardim

The common hawthorn, <em>Crataegus monogyna</em>, is a flowering shrub or small tree belonging to the family Rosaceae. This species has one of the widest distributions of any hawthorn, with its range encompassing Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, reflecting both its native Eurasian distribution and extensive introduction worldwide. <em>Crataegus monogyna</em> is typically found in hedgerows, woodland edges, scrubland, and disturbed habitats across a broad range of temperate climates. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating widespread and stable populations. The species produces white flowers in spring and small red berries, known as haws, in autumn, which provide important food resources for birds and other wildlife. No dietary information has been provided for this species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Pingüino emperador

El pingüino más grande del mundo, el pingüino emperor puede medir hasta 1,2 metros de altura y pesar 45 kg, habitando el continente antártico en algunas de las condiciones más extremas de la Tierra. Se reproduce en la oscuridad del invierno a temperaturas inferiores a -60°C, con los machos incubando un único huevo sobre sus patas bajo una bolsa de cría durante 65 días mientras las hembras están en el mar. Su comportamiento de apiñarse —haciendo circular a los individuos a través del cálido centro de grupos de miles de ejemplares— es una obra maestra de la supervivencia cooperativa.
